What if instead of a simple kickstarter, where you give money to people and hope they will deliver one day, the backers had the ability to actively manage development?

You back a project for some amount, you get a vote, proportional to that amount.

Anyone can propose a task. Developers then bet on it: what they will do, how long approximately it will take, and the cost.

Backers vote twice: first to accept the task/developer, second to release the funds to the developer once it's finished.

When the funds are released they are subtracted proportionally from everybody's "stake".

Backings are non-refundable, unless the whole project is canceled, which would require independent arbitration of platform admins. This is to protect developers from colluding backers, who won't pay once the task is completed.
